Hamburg only ever issued one stamp in rectangular format with chamfered corners and that was the 1 1/2 Schilling denomination. All the "reprints" shown in this thread have all sorts of denominations except the actual 1 1/2. So I would call them fantasy issues.

Yes. The genuine color varies from carmine to rose carmine. Your sheets appear to be reprints.

Here is a link that provides more information on the colorful copies:

Those copies have black diagonal text in the upper right corner indicating they were cut out from stationery, but reprints just the same (and also noted as "fantasy" prints).
